First it needs to be said that there is a difference between “sex scenes” and “sexy scenes”. Sexy is subtle and titillating without being smutty. The thought lingers in the mind long after the film is done. Sex is raw and involves women named Camille Toe and guys who have a weird uncontrollable urge to spit in a lady’s nether regions...or maybe that’s just the movies I watch. Nevertheless, this list is about sexiness for one of the main reasons being that I don’t end up listing porn and Jillybean doesn’t list the several movies where Ewan McGregor shows his wang. So here’s the list of top 5 movie scenes that got men drooling like Ethiopian refugees outside KFC.
5. Basic Instinct – Sharon Stone crossing her legs
You knew this had to make the list! For anyone who thinks this is a little too obvious and a bit cliché, let me defend this choice by pointing out that no other film scene has made men wear out the remote control like this one...just so we could pause it at the right exact moment. Confirmed. She’s not wearing any underwear. Now what was Michael Douglas’ role in the movie?
4. One Night at McCool’s – Liv Tyler washing a car
I have absolutely no idea what this movie was about. The only thing I remember is the elf princess from Lord of The Rings getting soaked in the sexiest car wash scene I’ve ever seen.
3. Cruel Intentions – Sarah Michelle Gellar and Selma Blair kiss
Why? Because it’s Buffy The Vampire Slayer making out with Hellboy’s girlfriend, that’s why.
2. The Girl Next Door – Elisha Cuthbert looking over her shoulder
To me this is one of the most understated scenes. The movie is filled with copious amounts of scenes that have Elisha Cuthbert oozing the combination of cuteness and sex appeal that only she can pull off. But the scene where Emile Hirsch sees her through the window is by far the scene that stands out for me. The idea of the girl next door being Elisha Cuthbert, you seeing her undress through the window and then to top it off she gives you a hint of an indication that she knows you’re watching and gives that last little look over her shoulder before she turns off the light. That is sexy. In a movie that’s pretty much entirely about sex and porn, the sexiest moment belongs to a simple glance over the shoulder. Also, if you haven’t seen this movie, it is perhaps one of the sweetest coming-of-age movies you will see and will have you quoting lines from the movie for days to come. “The juice is worth the squeeze”.
1. From Dusk Till Dawn – Salma Hayek table dance
And at number one we have the mistress of the macabre, the epitome of evil, the most sinister woman that has ever danced on the face of this earth. Lowly dog! Bow your head, kneel and worship at the feet of Santanica Pandemonium.
A meaty Salma Hayek deserves nothing less than the above intro from the movie. This scene captures “sexy” like nothing else. Even the part with that albino python slithering up her leg makes you want to reach through the TV screen regardless of your paralysing ophidiophobia (that’s fear of snakes). Salma Hayek is so hot in this movie that even Tarantino cast himself as George Clooney’s ugly brother just so he could drink beer off Miss Hayek’s magnificent feet (or at least that’s my theory).
Through all of that sexiness she doesn’t take her top off once. Not even a tiny little nip slip. She leaves it to the imagination. I can only imagine that if she did expose her splendid breasts, all the vampires would’ve started to sparkle, a choir of angels would’ve started singing and the liquor would’ve turned into holy water. Such is the splendour of Salma Heyek’s table dance in From Dusk Till Dawn.
The Jillybean says:
Not a list that one can fault in any way. When Ramzee and I started chatting about the next list, I struggled a bit. Let’s just say that women and men’s taste in what gets their blood pumping aren’t very different after all. How these scenes played out was more of an emotional selection, rather than an “Ooh! That’s hot” cherry pick.
5. Secretary – Maggie Gyllenhaal being spanked by James Spader
Oh. My. Soul. The furthest thing from subtle but hey, we all have fantasies. And this people, is one of them. Getting a good ass beating for being a bad girl and then getting sent on your merry ‘ol way with your butt on fire. That just tickles my fancy.
4. 40 Days 40 Nights – Feather highs
Since Harry Met Sally, did you ever think the moaning untouchable will make a screen appearance again? Hours after watching this movie, all I kept thinking was, “where’s a feather when you need one”. The fact that he does not touch her at all makes my skin stand.
His breathe and a feather. That’s all it took. I’m still on my feather hunt.
3. Unfaithful – In bed after they’ve just made love
Oh Olivier, this really isn’t fair. Just looking at you is a turn on. However, while your prey lies ever so still in her slumber, you draw an arrow pointing towards her nether regions (basically claiming your flower), gently blows it to make sure the ink is dry and then covers up her belly again. It’s the blowing that got me. The subtle kind of course.
A great wife finds a greater lover and has the greatest love affair.
2. The girl next door – In motel room and she realizes what he’s brought her there for
Elisha Cuthbert. Babe! Nuff said.
Well, even though she plays a porn star, I could not picture her being that kind of girl. She’s vulnerable, beautiful and finds herself trapped in a shit brick situation. And that’s why, when she tiger crawls onto the bed, gently spanks her butt and starts rubbing it slowly, it makes me want to say, “hush” and then hold her tight, make sweet heavenly love while she looks at me with those puppy dog eyes.
Lesbihonest, a girl can dream too. Of other girls.
1. 300 - When king Leonidas makes love to his beautiful queen
before he goes to war
I remember gasping for breath when I finally snapped out of it. The scene is shot brilliantly and every moment of ecstasy is captured. As each clip quickly appeared and then quickly disappeared, it made my heart race, wanting more. The movement of their bodies is so in sync, it makes you wonder if you’re doing it right? Saying goodbye to your beautiful queen surely calls for hot passionate love making where nipples becomes so tight, you could break those beauties off. Only a woman who’s been taken to heaven and back…and then, well, back again will know that his queen was in paradise. And so was I.
They give a little, and they take a little and then their poor hearts, break a little.
And that is all.
